"The Chief Minister and Minister for Home Affairs have emerged from this saga with no disciplinary case, no Chief Officer, a pending report from a QC likely to be critical of the Island’s Government, and a bill for over a million pounds. They are not well placed to criticise the actions of others" Deputy Bob Hill.............................................

The Return.

Just a brief posting to inform readers of exclusive news brought to you by Citizen's Media.

Former Senator Stuart Syvret will be arriving at Jersey Airport at approx 13.30pm.

I believe it is very good news for decent Jersey politicians, the abuse survivors and all the underdogs in Jersey and extremely bad news for the abuse deniers and concealers who currently hold most of the power in our beautiful island.

Stuart has shown a lot of courage in returning to what he knew was inevitable arrest. He put the welfare of others before his own safety and personal well-being and I wish him all the luck in the world for the future.

Re "The Royal Court decides whether he can stand and that will be interesting for a person currently on bail and also charged with contempt of court."

Or not. Being on bail and/or in contempt of court does not bar you from standing in an election. The Royal Court has to decide on whether he has been 'ordinarily resident' for the last six months.

He has been employed by a Jersey company and paying his tax and NI in Jersey. Any decision they make will also affect possibly hundreds of other people who say that Jersey is their home but spend most of their time out of the island tending to their yachts or their businesses.

It was interesting the note that Stuart Syvret flatly refused to talk with the 'accredited' media today, preferring instead to speak with VFC. Whilst one can understand where he is coming from (and also where their respective bias sits) I would prefer to see him, and every other candidiate who puts themselves forward, give the electorate every chance to make up their own minds by engaging with every local media outlet avaialable. Like he says, if we dont want him we get the government we deserve.

Yeah I thought stuart was bang on yesterday,they have done bugger all in these difficult times. When the nominations are in and the by-election is under way then yeah give interviews until then no chance.

"Negative views? He is a law breaker period. Why should I support a law breaker?"

Well commentor,

1/ Have you ever been anally raped?2/ Sexually assaulted?3/ Beaten to a pulp by your supposed guardian in the Jersey care system?4/ Been mentally tortured as a youth?5/ Victimized by the police and court system?6/ Thrown in jail for a crime that you have not committed?

If the answer to these questions is NO, then you are extremely lucky and should read Stuart Syvret's blog, then, get in touch with what is going on around you.

Because you don't see it, it doesn't mean that it isn't happening!!!

OPEN YOUR EYES, because you cannot see the truth with your eyes closed.

You do have to ask the question as to why Stuart did not just come back two weeks ago. This simple step would have avoided the need for there to be an election at all and he would have kept his seat. Sadly this is an issue that people are already picking up on and I am sure will be pounced upon by the Establishment and used. Supporter on not it was a huge mistake in my opinion. Like in the middle of a recession how much is this election going to cost the taxpayer?

I believe stuart stayed so a by-election could be called. Now the media will have to give equal time to each candidate there are also the hustings and plus lets see what the people want.

It will not be easy for stuart as i believe the local media have done a first class hatchet job on him, have not published any of his evidence of the child abuse cover ups, and basically done bugger all.

How much will a by- election cost the taxpayer in a recession can be much more than a grand?

I have read his blog and have never seen child abuse cover ups. Why do you make this stuff up? He shows one side of the story but never both sides. If I am reading this wrong give me just one concrete piece of proof of a child abuse cover up?
